Victorian Curriculum
About
The Victorian Curriculum F–10 sets out a single, coherent and comprehensive set of content descriptions and associated achievement standards to enable teachers to plan, monitor, assess and report on the learning achievement of every student.
The Victorian Curriculum F–10 incorporates and reflects much of the Australian Curriculum F–10, but differs in some important respects, most notably the representation of the curriculum as a continuum of learning and the structural design.
Victorian government and Catholic schools are required to use the Victorian Curriculum F–10. Independent schools may use the Victorian Curriculum F–10 as a model and resource for the effective implementation of the Australian Curriculum.
The Victorian Curriculum
The Victorian Curriculum F–10 sets out what every student should learn during their first eleven years of schooling. The curriculum is the common set of knowledge and skills required by students for life-long learning, social development and active and informed citizenship.
The Victorian Curriculum F–10 incorporates the Australian Curriculum and reflects Victorian priorities and standards.
Resources and supporting information
Resources have been developed to support the implementation of the Victorian Curriculum F-10, including guidelines for Victorian schools developing whole-school teaching and learning plans and reporting student learning achievement, information on curriculum planning and assessment, curriculum area-specific advice, and professional learning opportunities. These resources are found on the ‘F–10 Curriculum’ section on the VCAA website.
In addition, the VCAA also provides a suite of whole-school curriculum planning resources, designed to support curriculum leaders to plan and document a comprehensive whole-school curriculum.
The VCAA is currently developing the Victorian Curriculum F–10 Version 2.0. To find out more, go to the VCAA website
